Backs on stands as well as I don't have a jack ahaha

So much stuff I need to buy lol

Yeah I'll get the seals done on it at some point, maybe when the weathers not to bad.

I think I've got a good chance of maybe getting this car in and running by end of the month.

I've been looking at jobs I have left to do and it's getting smaller and smaller.

Although I need a carb and full exhaust system, anyone out there?

Cracking build mate....great work.

 

I like the way you've got the brake pipe going through the front bulkhead.....i've seen that somewhere before....ha ha ha!!!!  

[danny1]

Ahaha I have no idea were I've seen that done before ;)

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

I've just relised when trying to fit my transfer gears, I have an A series crank and primary gear
And my other 2 are A+

Ahh which is a pain in the ass, so I'm gonna have to order new drop gears and find and early crank case as well as of course the bearing is smaller on an A series.

What a pain in my bum, and a spanner in the works.

This has put me back a bit now till I can find the bits

[Baldspeed Racing]

been there with my gears didnt even think when I ordered them at the time. know how it feels

[danny1]

Been speaking with guess works I just need an A+ primary gear which I'm sure I had but doesn't look like it any more, so I'm hunting for one so I can finish and get it built up, as of tomorrow when my order turns up it's going to be the only thing stopping me from getting it built and then in the car, how very annoying oh well

[danny1]

We'll I've dropped the front subframe out in perpetration for fitting the engine this way,
Just waiting on a primary gear to turn up and then I can get it in, I'm also in the process of find a cylinder head and then it's exhaust and carb I have to think about.

Although I don't have long left as I'm being sent back to sea for a while in March

[danny1]

I'm so annoyed, I want to stab someone, I bought a front subframe being told it was a manual, in fact it looks to be an auto, I only noticed when trying to fit the engine mount on the timing side and the holes don't line up and then looking at the other side and the engine is sitting well below the holes, I'm so annoyed means I now have to look for another frame and transfer all my bits over, once I've cleaned and painted and actually found one.

And now I'm stuck with a crappy auto frame which is no good to beast or man

[GraemeC]

Just fit the adapters, gives you more room for working on the engine later, too.

[the_samkingdon15]

[danny1]

Cheers, ordering fuel pump and pressure reg his week, so next weekend will have the last bits of the fuel line complete, and then it's just the job of wirring it all in, which I'm not looking forward to
But it's getting there slowly

Plus I have another 5 weeks of work coming up as we'll so fingers crossed will get a fair amount of work done
